Launched in 2009, Jessica is a very large 39m long wooden hull motor yacht that operates liveaboard diving tours for up to 30 guests throughout Egypt's Red Sea. You can explore the dive sites of the Sinai Peninsula, such as Ras Mohamed and the Straits of Tiran, the famous northern wrecks like the Thistlegorm, Abu Nuhas and Rosalie Moller, the marine parks including Brothers and Daedalus, as well as the colourful reefs in the deep south at St John's and Fury Shoals.

The yacht is operated by the experienced international company, Dune, that runs liveaboard tours in 4 countries. They have both European and Egyptian dive guides who are passionate about diving, well trained, and know the different regions very well. They are familiar with the seasonal conditions and can choose the most appropriate sites, considering diver experience and wishes. They balance diver safety and comfort with a fun and friendly atmosphere, sharing tips, anecdotes and stories, to ensure the most enjoyable cruise possible.

Guests are accommodated in large and bright cabins on the upper and lower decks. Their is a private bathroom in each cabin. The boat has a run-of-the-house cabin policy, but guests can pay a small fee to pre-select their preferred cabin. Meals are served buffet-style in the air-conditioned dining area. Guests can watch a movie or relax in the lounge. Alternatively they can enjoy a drink and socialise in the shaded open air upper deck at the stern. The sun deck offers a further relaxation area, furnished with sun loungers and comfy seating, for guests to enjoy the sunshine.

There are 2 motorised 8-diver dinghies for onboard Jessica that are used to transport scuba divers to the sites. The dive platform has 2 ladders for easy egress. Enriched air nitrox is provided free of charge by a membrane system. On the final afternoon of each cruise (usually the Friday), guests can go on a city tour or a quadbike excursion. What a great way to end a truly memorable Red Sea liveaboard trip!
